IT is officially announced to-day that a third game with Yale has been arranged in case the first two should result in a tie. We are glad to see this dispute at last so satisfactorily ended. Evidently the action taken by the Yale baseball management was not supported by the under graduate body and certainly not by the graduates, or else there would hardly have been this unexpected turn of affairs. The credit of it all must be given to one or two prominent alumni of each university. To them we feel grateful for the interest they have taken, and for the successful conclusion of their efforts. We think that Harvard's position was thoroughly sportsmanlike and reasonable, and Yale, whether led by graduates or undergraduates has shown at last a fair spirit in the matter. She deserves particular credit since it is hard to recede from a position which has been strongly taken and persistently held. However, we are sure that her final action is the only one which could have been taken without risking the friendly feelings between the two universities.
